Evesham’s first Wargames Festival to help commemorate the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham. Demonstration and participation games from Ancients to the Age of Napoleon, and more, with a Bring & Buy Sale, refreshments and a chance to meet like minded friends.
This will be held at Wallace House Community Centre, Oat Street, Evesham.
This year is the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham so the Wargames Festival is part of the three day Evesham’s Battle Festival on the 1 to 3 August. Other activities include:
Day 1, Friday when Jousts and Tournaments will be held.
Days 2 and 3 will cover our award winning Medieval Festival and Battle Re-enactments.
The Society will have a stall at Evesham’s Christmas Artisan Market, which will be held on 22 and 23 November. We will be joining historical themed and modern traders selling a wide range of interesting and unusual food, drink and gifts. The Churchyard of All Saints and St Lawrence’s will be lit up, providing a real feel of a medieval fayre.
This is the Society’s annual popular one-day Day School which features a number of lectures by leading academics, living history and re-enactment. More details will be posted later.
The fee includes refreshments and lunch.
Evesham’s annual medieval market will boast fascinating and unique stalls, live entertainment, re-enactment and food and drink. The Society stall is usually based in St Lawrence’s Church.
It is a two day event starting at 10 am on Saturday 17 May (end 5 pm) and Sunday (10 am to 4 pm).
The organisers are the Evesham Battle Team ( who are members of our Society).
